The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

Chen Ke smelled a faint fragrance.

It looks like incense but not incense, like musk deer but not musk deer, like sandalwood like smoke, indistinct.

Very familiar taste.

Chen Ke slowly opened his eyes and saw the high hanging roof, which was exactly the same as that of Taiheng Palace.

——This is Taiheng Palace.Familiar smell, familiar layout, the bedding under the body is also the familiar texture.

Chen Ke tilted his head slightly, dazzled by the sunlight penetrating through the window, he narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

The fight and roar of the battlefield seemed to be still in my ears, making the room extremely quiet. Chen Ke thought of the arrow feather and wanted to sit up and touch the wound on his back.

It was only after this movement that something was wrong.

The lower body was paralyzed, lost consciousness, and could not move.

Chen Ke was startled, this is—what's going on?

"Come here." Chen Ke wanted to stand up anxiously, and called out loudly, but there was no response at all from the huge Taiheng Palace, and Eunuch Quan, who was always inseparable in the past, was nowhere to be seen.

Chen Ke had a vague premonition.

There was a sound of light footsteps, and the footsteps were in a hurry. When they reached the door, they knocked respectfully and politely, and then opened the door to come in.

The person who came was Guan Hongfeng.The blind Guan Hongfeng.

Chen Ke looked at Guan Hongfeng in shock and couldn't believe his eyes.

"This is, when?"

"Go back to the prince, it's only past noon."

"I'm asking what day is today."

"Report to the prince, October [-] and [-]."

October 27th...

"The first year of Yuande?"

"My lord, what do you feel uncomfortable?" Guan Hongfeng asked worriedly, why did the lord lose his mind when he woke up?

Chen Ke opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a while, his eyes were full of confusion, Guan Hongfeng couldn't see Chen Ke's appearance, but after a long time, Chen Ke didn't respond, which aggravated Guan Hongfeng's uneasiness.

"My lord..."

"Where's Xu Qingfeng?" Chen Ke interrupted him.

"Who?" Guan Hongfeng was taken aback, "Who is the prince talking about?"

Guan Hongfeng didn't know Xu Qingfeng.I don't know this?Or did he die again and be reborn back to before his last death?Or is it all just a dream of his?

Is Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou?What is true and what is false?

"Where is Grandpa Quan?" Chen Ke asked.

Guan Hongfeng was a little at a loss, as if the prince didn't remember it at all.After a long while, Guan Hongfeng murmured: "I was taken away by the emperor and never came back..."

When the incident happened earlier, both he and Grandpa Quan were taken away, and his eyes were cut off. Grandpa Quan didn't know what kind of torture and interrogation he would suffer.

"Where's Zuo Ming?" Chen Ke asked him again.

Guan Hongfeng's face seemed to turn pale in an instant, covered with a layer of gray sadness: "Dead..."

"Uh..." This was October 27th of the first year of Yuande, the day when he was still alive in the Taiheng Palace, and the day before Xu Qingfeng broke into the Taiheng Palace.

"Understood." Chen Ke closed his eyes very tiredly. Guan Hongfeng asked if he would have a meal, but he also refused. Just when Guan Hongfeng was at a loss because of Chen Ke's erratic temper, Chen Ke suddenly said: "Tomorrow In the middle of the night, if a boy breaks in by mistake, don't hurt him."

"Yes." Guan Hongfeng was at a loss, but this was the longest sentence Chen Ke uttered after being paralyzed. Guan Hongfeng was more surprised than helpless.

After Chen Ke finished speaking, he didn't speak again. Guan Hongfeng waited quietly for a while, and quietly retreated out.

juvenile?Guan Hongfeng pondered in his mind, but couldn't think of a suitable character.Many of King Ren's previous actions were entrusted to him. There is no reason why he would have no impression of a young man at all.And just after King Ni has "died suddenly", who will come?

Chen Ke wasn't even sure if Xu Qingfeng would come.He doesn't even know where he is now.

If the year after rebirth was just a dream of his, then all this would be too real, wouldn't it?

The more I think about it, the more confused I become.

This day was very difficult, Chen Ke desperately wanted to see Xu Qingfeng, and wanted to know what was going on.

The midnight of October 28 was no different from ordinary ones. Chen Ke looked sideways at the dark scenery outside the window in a daze, looking forward to the arrival of someone.

Guan Hongfeng was standing in the courtyard, holding his breath and listening to the movement around him, waiting for the boy that King Ren said.

When the moon was shining in the sky, someone did come in.Guan Hongfeng listened carefully and recognized the footsteps of a young man.But this young man was beyond Guan Hongfeng's expectations—this seems to be a fool?

His whole body was dirty, and Guan Hongfeng could smell a sour smell, like the smell of clothes that hadn't been washed for several days, and also like the smell of garbage. Guan Hongfeng quickly held his breath, trying to drive him out.

But then he thought of King Ni's words, and hesitated for a while, is it this person?What does Renwang mean?

"Who is coming?"

"Ah?" The boy's voice was very nice, but there was a sense of stupidity.

"Don't pretend to be crazy! Quickly reveal your identity, and I will spare you!" Guan Hongfeng put his sword directly on the man's neck. The young man seemed to be frightened, and let out a series of flustered, helpless and meaningless ravings.

"Guan Hongfeng!" Chen Ke hurriedly called when he heard the movement outside.

"Subordinates are here!"

"Is it him?" Chen Ke could still half-stand up, but he couldn't get out of the bed, his legs were weak, so he could only straighten his arms with all his strength, and eagerly moved towards the entrance of the hall.

who is he?Guan Hongfeng wanted to ask, but didn't know how to ask.Could it be that the prince is really waiting for this boy?

"Bring him in."

Guan Hongfeng was still hesitating, so he had no choice but to take the boy into the bedroom after hearing the words.

There were no candles lit in the hall, but the moonlight was bright, and Chen Ke recognized the dirty boy as Xu Qingfeng at a glance.

"Come here." Chen Ke's voice was hoarse.

Xu Qingfeng was startled, as if he was a little confused, but when he saw Chen Ke, his eyes lit up again, and he expressed his thoughts on his face.

Guan Hongfeng couldn't see it, but his five senses were more sensitive than before. After hesitating for a moment, he released the suppression on Xu Qingfeng, and even pushed Xu Qingfeng lightly, signaling Xu Qingfeng to go to Chen Ke's side.

Xu Qingfeng looked stupid, and Chen Ke coaxed him to come over with a gentle tone.

"Ah? Ah? King..."

Xu Qingfeng seemed to recognize Chen Ke, and smiled happily.

So Chen Ke also smiled, pulled the person closer, wiped off the dirt on Xu Qingfeng's face, looked at those bright and clean eyes for a long time, and finally sighed softly.

The days in Taiheng Palace passed quickly.Chen Ke gradually felt the decline of his body, but he felt satisfied every day.

Xu Qingfeng stayed in Taiheng Palace. Although there was an extra piece of paper for dinner, Guan Hongfeng had no objection.

As Guan Hongfeng's eyes, Xu Qingfeng searched out all the food that could be eaten from the top and bottom of the Taiheng Palace. The food he found could barely last for a month, but Guan Hongfeng had no idea what to do after that.

At the request of the prince, Guan Hongfeng fetched water and clean clothes for Xu Qingfeng, but the fool finally cleaned himself up with the help of the prince.

Guan Hongfeng couldn't think of the relationship between the prince and this young man, he always felt weird, but he didn't dare to ask, but Xu Qingfeng adapted to the "new life" very quickly, and stayed in the dormitory for a long time every day.

Xu Qingfeng would lie on Chen Ke's bedside every day, looking at him with straightforward and admiring eyes.

Chen Ke sometimes finds it funny, but Xu Qingfeng rarely has such an expression when he wakes up;

Chen Ke would tell Xu Qingfeng stories about the interesting things he had heard and seen. Xu Qingfeng reacted slowly and couldn't speak clearly, but he could hear clearly, and the expression on his face changed with the ups and downs of the story.

very cute...

Chen Ke is very gentle, as if he wants to take out all the good things.

December is approaching, and Xu Qingfeng has been in Taiheng Palace for a month without knowing it. Chen Ke thought about it, dismissed Xu Qingfeng, called Guan Hongfeng, and made a decision——

Once he was about to die, he set fire to Taiheng Palace.Even if he died, Chen Ke would turn into ashes and never leave his body to others.And Xu Qingfeng, don't let this simple little fool wander alone in the dangerous palace.

But when that day came, Chen Ke still felt reluctant, and felt a dull pain in his heart.Xu Qingfeng didn't know anything, he was still giggling, and rolled up his sleeves and said that he would give him his own meat.

All the conversations are familiar, Chen Ke smiled and asked Xu Qingfeng: "Are you afraid?"

The black smoke became thicker and thicker, and drifted into the bedroom. Soon, the tongue of fire licked here, and the house burned, and the fire became bigger and bigger. The burnt wood and other furniture gave off an unpleasant smell, and the thick smoke choked the nose. The temple is getting hotter and brighter.Chen Ke became calm, but Xu Qingfeng was very disturbed.

"Are you afraid?" Chen Ke asked.

"Yeah." Xu Qingfeng nodded, first looked around, and grabbed Chen Ke's hand in fear, trying to pull him up and take him out, but when he realized that he couldn't do it, he was sweating anxiously.

"Don't be afraid." Chen Ke said with a gentle expression.

Holding Xu Qingfeng's hand instead, Chen Ke comforted him again: "Don't be afraid..."

So Xu Qingfeng calmed down, stopped worrying, sat back and looked at Chen Ke quietly.

The fire was raging, and the bedroom was as bright as day. Chen Ke looked at Xu Qingfeng seriously, as if he wanted to engrave him in his heart.

"Come……"

This time, Chen Ke didn't let Xu Qingfeng block the falling beams for him, but motioned Xu Qingfeng to approach him, and then hugged him, letting the two cuddle together intimately.

Until the tongue of cannibalism licked my body, the pain felt real;

Until all kinds of hustle and bustle and Guan Hongfeng's laughter came from outside, the sound made people confused without knowing the distance; until the burning beams fell...

Although the battle against the Cazeya multi-clan suffered heavy casualties, they were victorious.When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth in the morning, the mess on the ground proved the vicious fighting last night. The victorious soldiers wept with joy, embraced each other, and said words of gratitude.

But to Xu Qingfeng, this result was not as significant as imagined.

Tie Bi stabbed someone in the back, and Chen Ke blocked the arrow for him, and remained unconscious.The angle of the arrow was very tricky. In order not to hurt Chen Ke's heart, it took a day and a night to take out the arrow, but Chen Ke remained in a coma, and Xu Qingfeng guarded Chen Ke, and he became haggard day by day.

"My lord, Tie Bi has been captured, Mr. Wei Huai asked to meet..."

"Young master, you should eat something, the prince can't see you like this..."

"Report to Mr. Xu, the battle counted 4000 casualties, and killed more than [-] enemy troops..."

"My lord, someone sent a child from outside, saying that Tasiya entrusted you with it. The Demon Cult has all died in battle, so I ask you to decide how to deal with this child..."

Xu Qingfeng didn't listen to anything, but stayed by Chen Ke's bed, holding Chen Ke's hand tightly.

"Leave it to Guan Hongfeng..."

Chen Yikai asked anxiously, Xu Qingfeng only said this, and then fell silent.

——Xu Qingfeng had a dream.

Dreaming of the days before his rebirth in Taiheng Palace, dreaming of the fire, but the Chen Ke in the dream was extremely gentle.

It was different from the previous one. After waking up, Xu Qingfeng wiped his face, only to realize that his face was full of tears.

Everyone was very careful about Chen Ke's injury, and couldn't bear to see Xu Qingfeng like this.

Every time Eunuch Quan saw this scene, his heart would be pierced. Seeing that Chen Ke's aura gradually weakened, Eunuch Quan discussed with Guan Hongfeng and Zuo Ming that this could not continue.

"My lord, let's send the prince back to Juyanhe City, maybe the master of law will have a solution." Eunuch Quan cautiously suggested.

Xu Qingfeng agreed when he heard the words, neither agreeing nor objecting.

If Chen Ke hadn't been hit by the arrow, the unresolved poison on his body would have killed Chen Ke too.

Tasiya died and the Demon Cult was destroyed. Although Guan Hongfeng sent people to Xiaoyao Township, the possibility of finding the golden bell flower was extremely slim.

As for keeping the law, Xu Qingfeng smiled helplessly. Now that he has seen through the mystery of the stone of life and death, he also understands that keeping the law cannot save Chen Ke.

"Son..."

"Well, go back."

"Yes." Eunuch Quan agreed, then sighed and backed away silently.

Life is a mortal destiny, but Xu Qingfeng couldn't persuade himself not to be sad no matter what.

There was nothing to clean up, just found a carriage, settled Chen Ke carefully, and the group returned to Juyanhe City.
